  1. Create a faster way to start to do on-the-fly polling, without setting up a question

    As a quick feedback tool, I would like to scan the room for student responses based on a question from outside Plickers. I'd like to just collect the data without having to set up a question (or multiple questions... e.g. reviewing a 25Q MC quiz)

    Hi Plickers friends!

    We actually do have a way to collect data without setting up a question — you can simply tap the [+] button to create a new question, then tap the correct answer letter(s) and go ahead and tap the camera icon to start scanning the “empty” question.

    What I’m really hearing here is that you’d like to have a faster way to do on-the-fly polling, and that is something we’d very much like to work on. To that end, I’m modifying this idea title just a bit to specify that!

    We’re looking forward to changing up a lot of the mobile interface to make Plickers more intuitive and easy to use over the next few weeks!

    Thanks!

    Jenn

  2. A way to embed the live graph into Powerpoint

    With a direct embed into Powerpoint, there would be no clunky switches from presentation to plickers' site. The LiveWeb add-in for Powerpoint embeds the webpage, but is far too inelegant to the point that switching is often better.

  3. Have a "Hide answers" button.

    This allows students to think/answer the question BEFORE seeing answers that will guide their thinking. Too often (especially in math, what I teach), the MC solutions guide student thinking, rather than the problem guiding thinking. I want to be able to hide the answers so that students are not working backwards and guessing based on the MC answers.

  4. More than 63 unique cards

    I'd like to use Plickers with more than 63 students/respondents at once.

    Example uses:
    - Model the use of Plickers at large PD sessions (approx. 200 respondents)
    - Large university classrooms (100+ respondents)

    Let us know in a comment how many you'd need!

  5. Mark a student absent

    I would like to be able to mark a student absent, so I don't continually think they didn't respond. If possible, the fraction could represent the number of people present that day.
    Example: I have 43 students enrolled in the class, 2 students are absent (which I would love to do via plickers - my first scan would be called attendance then if I could click their name and check a box or something to effectively eliminate them from the roster that day it would be amazing. I could do it differently if that is too difficult to program.) After…

  6. Built in LATEX equation editor for questions and answers

    As a physics teacher it would be a real boon to be able to quickly and easily insert equations to questions and answers. Latex would be perfect for this, and online platforms already exist which convert latex code into an equation image. Combining this with Plickers would be absolutely awesome.

  7. Import Images via Google Drive

    The 'Add Image' tool is great! But you can only upload pictures that are saved on your computer. I only use Google Drive and it would be great if I could access images from there instead of only being able to access images saved on my computer. Even better would be the ability to copy and paste images into the question box.

  9. Two sided cards for one student.

    Allowing ABCDEFG(H). This would allow testing of simple music notation.

  10. ALLOW STUDENTS TO RESPOND WITH THEIR CELL PHONES

    90% of my students have cell phones. I wish there was a way like the Remind app where my students can respond via their phones in conjunction with their cards.

  11. Connect it to Edmodo

    I'm using edmodo with my students, if it was connected this would be amazing. Student data would then be live.

  12. Add some type of game integration. (Gamify Plickers)

    Qwizdom and Socrative both have games that are played when answering question. It is merely a graphical display of what students are answering the most positive questions. It will require that you add the ability to make quizzes first. An example of game integration is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEsoFaubtS0

  13. Import questions from 3rd-party sources

    It would be great to be able to create the questions on the website as well as the app and to be able to import preexisting questions from other sources like USA Test Prep, etc.

    *Note from Plickers: We'd love to hear more about the resources you'd like to import questions from -- this will better guide us in figuring out what content-providers we'd want to work with down the road to provide better content for you!

  14. Allow for student groups to be created from the class list

    We have a whole year group set up as a class and we would like to then pick from that class a group for maths, a group for English, etc. so that the students then only need 1 plickers card to cover all of the subjects and the teachers create their groups from the same generic class list.

  15. Sync with Skyward

    Most states are using Skyward as their grading system. If plickers was able to export names/ID numbers and input data results for grading--you'd have a whole bunch of ecstatic teachers!

  16. Option for teacher to input students answer

    ​It would be great if there a way to easily input a students answer choice if they forgot their card that day. Most students have their cards most days, but there is always one or two per day that left their binder at home. It would be great if there was an easy way for me as the teacher to put in their answer selection, as opposed to printing them a new card every time

  17. Find a way that students can't cheat and peak at each other's card

    I teach 6th grade and the students glance at each other's cards. It would be great to come up with a way that students can't cheat.

  18. great to have a completely anonymous mode. In Demo mode you can see the students letter response.

    I told the students that they could answer anonymously but I can see the letter response right above their card.

  20. Push data to Google Docs

    Hi Nolan! Please please please integrate your AMAZING!!! tool with Google docs (spreadsheet!) I think SO many people could really use your idea as a fundamental building block to interacting with others in amazing ways. I've been wanting a tool like this for the past decade but I'm not a programmer!

    AWESOME work! Simple, clean, effective. Students at my school LUV this tool!

    My students have published about 20 books and we're now doing more and more writing projects where the kinds conceptualize, draft and write their own books. The books are very cool and interesting. Something that always slows…

    nic responded

    Hi all,
    Today we released a big update to our reporting features that now allows you to generate reports for multiple questions and each of your classes. Along with this is the ability to export your class results to a spreadsheet (.csv). While we still don’t have an official “push to Google Docs” feature, with this spreadsheet export it should now be easy to copy/paste or import your results to a GDocs. We hope this goes a long way towards meeting your needs and you can read more about the release here: http://blog.plickers.com/introducing-plickers-scoresheet/
